[She hops off her bike and settles it out of the way before untying the package.]

This is for you, Archer. It's that Secret Santa thing, I just don't think it's worth keeping something so trivial a secret. But I hope you enjoy.

[swordboning]

So you ended up with my name. Most of my list wasn't serious.

[Mostly because he wasn't in want of anything. But a gift was a gift.]

[faithfulflame]

I did. [A shrug.] Open it, though.

[It's big, and passed over. If he does, inside will be a nice set of kitchen knives, and a decent sized collection of ceramic cookware. Nothing fancy, but serviceable restaurant quality.]

[swordboning]

Now? You're not going to force me to wait until Christmas and have me keep it under a tree until then.

[faithfulflame]

Frankly, if you'd rather do that, then I don't care. It's entirely up to you, since it's your gift.

[swordboning]

I'll wait if you don't mind, then.

[Because he's terrible at showing gratitude and wouldn't be surprised if he caused hurt feelings. Thankfully, he's tactful enough to realize that.]

[faithfulflame]

Well alright then.

[Rei smiles pleasantly and sets down the box before turning back to her bike.]

I'll see you around, Archer.
